Tamper Proof
November 30th, 2004 by Editor BEvery week, Xy has her students write sentences using vocabulary words — pretty standard stuff, dictated by the school system.
This week, one of the words is “tamper,” and one of the students wrote the following sentence:
The dead baby of my auntie died in her stomach for a week so, when my brother was trying to touch it, my mom said, “Don’t tamper it.”

surely you shouldn’t tamper with your aunt’s dead baby; smart kid. (congrats on the novella!)

I wish that when I was growing up that I had an aunt that was so cool and hip to medical lingo. If so, maybe my dead baby brother would still be alive today in mom’s stomach.
